Ok, if this is the case, can you please provide some documentation and/or example config files for font-package maintainers, how to write such scripts? Ho do I specify, that my fonts provide characters for simplified and traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and HKSCS (Hong Kong) and thus should have higher priority than the existing CJK fonts? Also they should appear in the <alias> sections before other CJK fonts. :) Thanks for the explanation Arne -- Arne GÃtje (éçè) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Spam catcher. Address might change in future!)
